Title: Ultimate DilemmaAuthor: M. A. ComleyFormat reviewed: EbookSource: Author supplied copyPublisher: Jeamel Publishing LimitedPublication Date: 22nd October 2020Rating: 5 Stars
A despicable murder covered up for twenty-five years...
A family ripped apart by an atrocious crime...
Who is responsible for this cruel deception, a brutal loss of life? And why?
DI Katy Foster has the ultimate dilemma when a young woman discovers her father attacked and left for dead.
Countless clues lead to one suspect in particular, but with all the time that has passed and the lack of potential evidence needed for a conviction, Katy's team are left feeling exasperated.
Will the team be able to unravel this complex case with dozens of untruths to sift through, to capture a killer who has been roaming free for a quarter of a century?
Wow, wow, wow. Sitting here open mouthed in complete shock and wonder. There is no way I would have ever seen that ending coming. I'm not even sure how the author came up with it, but it works so well, and has completely taken my breath away.
Oh and the lead up to that point was fabulous too, it is another fabulous book in this promising new series. In some ways I was happy to hear less direct mentions of Lorne in this one, as Katy and Charlie are starting to become more respected detectives in their own right.
I was though delighted to see a rather familiar face, from The Justice series make an appearance. Glad to see she is still about and happy to help the police when asked.
As this series is starting to hit its stride (well as much stride as you get for a second book, but for fans of the Justice series then we have known these characters for many years), it is clear that it seems to be Katy that is key at the moment, her personal life we are getting to know.
I feel I don't really know the person behind adult Charlie the police detective that well yet, but I'm sure it will come, and ultimately Katy is the senior detective in this partnership so it makes sense at the moment.
It was a really baffling case at least initially and I'll admit around half way I had an epiphany, utterly convinced I knew both murder and motive - which may be why I'm so amazed at the real outcome - I was kind of close for both but the reality I'd have never come up with in a million years.
I do love it when an author can take you completely by surprise like that.
If you have read my reviews in the past you will know just how much I love M. A. Comley's writing, I ran out of superlatives about a year ago, but imagine all the positive superlatives you would like to use about a thriller and I'm pretty sure they would be apt for this one too!
Bring on Book 3, I can't wait!
Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
